Here's my Q&D notes on emulator. Thanks to others for some info.

--Keyboard

• Escape is Back Gesture,
• Home is Center Button,
• End is the Flick Up Gesture (like to bring up card view or the launcher),
• Left/Right arrows switch applications,
• Shift is Shift (duh!),
• Alt is Option (orange),
• Left Ctrl+letter does Sym for that letter,
• and of course there's the keyboard too.

--Mouse

• Left Mouse click is "touching screen".
• Left Mouse drag is "dragging on screen". Useful in card view to "swipe up" (close),and drag left right (card view, launcher, etc.).
• Left Mouse click and hold will select card in card view for shuffling cards, or changing out Quick Launch applications.
• Double left mouse click, is zoom in/out on selected paragraph in browser. Not same as two finger zoom?
• To bring up the Quick Launch "wave", drag up from the bottom of the screen. Note that this is hard to get to work, as one has to start in the exact bottom row of pixels.

--Emulator

• The "Host" key defaults to Right Ctrl, used for accessing emulator menus. Following is a short list:
  • Tap and release Host key to return keyboard capture to PC (i.e. done using emulator). Note if using "Activation follows mouse (X-Mouse)", this is not required (see "Tweak UI", MS Power Toy, for info).
  • Host+F Full screen toggle
  • Host+N Session information dialog
  • Host+S Take a snapshot (from emulator)
  • Host+Q Close emulator

--Helper Batch Files, in "C:\Program Files\Palm\SDK\bin" (I've not tried, YMMV):

• palm-emulator.bat - Starts emulator.
• palm-generate.bat - Create Application template. Will create directory if it doesn't exist.
• palm-inspector.bat - Runs Palm inspector. Appears to be the debugger interface.
• palm-install.bat - Installs App on USB connected Prē (usb), or emulator (tcp).
• palm-launch.bat - Launch App on USB connected Prē (usb), or emulator (tcp). With debugging options.
• palm-package.bat - Package App into ipk format.

Open up "DOS" command shell to use. Installing SDK adds bin directory to your path.

Run batch file with no arguments to get usage.

--Mojo API

TBD
See sample code in "C:\Program Files\Palm\SDK\share\samples" for now.
